Is there anything I need to do or know before I start EMT basic classes? I'm still a senior in high school so I have time to get my life together! Also do you think people will look down on me? I'm a girl for one, a black girl..well mixed. I love make up, nails "girly things" so I'm sure when I go to class next fall I feel like I'd be an odd ball. Now of course when I get there I'm going to love what I'm doing, and I just want to know what you think?
